As a parent, you can be concerned about aggression, talking back , shyness or unexplained fears in your child. At home you may see temper tantrums, sibling rivalry, lying or just plain disruptive behavior. On the other hand, schools could be complaining about your child's conduct, physical or verbal aggression, bullying or having difficulty making or maintaining friends.
It is important to identify and stop these behavior patterns before they grow into more serious problems over time. It may require just a loving and stable relationship between parents and children or may need a professional intervention. A behavioral assessment by a professional can help determine the possible causes of behavioral problems and appropriate course of action to break through the cycle of bad behavior.
How does a Behavioral Assessment help?
A behavioral assessment is helpful in diagnosing Conduct Disorder, Oppositional
Defiant Disorder (ODD) and other specific behavioral disorders. These disorders pose
a tremendous challenge to families, schools and society.
However, early detection and intervenion is the most effective method to treat these
problems. An evaluation by an experienced professional can help plan strategies to improve the behavior, develop self-esteem & self-control and equip your child with necessary skills to be successful in life.
